Voice life enters the countdown

On Tuesday, Google added an option in the Android Hangouts app that lets users migrate their Google+ Voice accounts to Hangouts. According to the Android platform Hangouts application "debug mode" (debug mode) information display, the user will be able to access their voice mailbox and information inbox directly from the Hangouts application in the future, but we do not know how these features specifically through Application implementation.

In fact, as early as March this year, US tech blog 9to5Google quoted sources as saying Google plans to integrate Google Voice capabilities into the Google Hangouts app for Android and iOS. Hangouts will be able to place calls and text messages from your Google Voice number and continue to support your current video calling and IM messaging features.

The current Google Voice application in the specific use is not easy, although the application still has a large number of users, but Google does not seem to give it enough attention. For example, the Google Voice app for iOS is still using the pseudo-materialized design style of iOS 6.

According to an outside world analysis, it seems obvious that the integration of Google Voice into Google Hangouts is a combination of Google products such as Google+ Messager, Google Talk and the original video chat service. And, as early as October 2013, Google added short message support for feature phones to Google Hangouts.

So, at the moment, Google Hangouts already has both voicemail and text messaging capabilities, but Google Voice's VoIP phone functionality is still missing. In response, many users have said on the network, hope that the integration of many Google Voice features new Hangouts application with the new version of Android L together with the market. (Tom)
